This is purely a work of fiction. While this story is based on King Karikala Chola of the acclaimed Chola dynasty in India, information on his personal life is scarce. This is my attempt to capture the essence of his life as he happens to be the first to rise to glory in the long list of the famous Cholas (like Raja Raja Chola and Rajendra Chola) and includes fictional characters, the names of whom have been taken from Sandilyan's Yavana Rani series. This is however NOT a re-telling of Yavana Rani. Footnote has been provided, especially for words in Tamil :)
I dedicate this book to Lord Shiva without whom none of this would have been possible.
I also dedicate this book to my dad, who made me obsessed with the Cholas in the first place.
Om Namah Shivaya.
Thank you for that amazing book cover!! milli1321 I honestly don't know what I would do without you <3
